Local pharamacists Gerry and Lorraine Maybank have been collecting drugs since the beginning of May. Olds Value Drug Mart and Pharmasave hope to collect over 100 pounds of unused and out-dated drugs by campaign's end. cleaning up old drugs By Anthony Connolly Two Olds drugstores Drug Round-up which expect to collect over runs the entire month 100 pounds of outdated of May. and unidentifiable The whole idea behind medicine by the end of the annual clean up of May. old and forgotten Pharmasave and Olds drugs is to stop con- medication down the toilet, Lorraine Maybank of Pharmasave said.

We're holding everybody back, Sundre town administrator, Harvey Doering, said. The Sundre administrator says an infrequently ordered general assessment on town property is keeping all municipalities behind in their own tax notices. Most municipalities across the county target mid-May for sending out tax notices, but now see the beginning of June as a possible date. The town of Sundre is going through a general assessment, something that happens every seven to eight years where they redo absolutely every assessment on every property, he said. Because of provincial government cut backs the assessment branch operated by Alberta Municipal Affairs is not overly staffed, so they were running behind, Doering said. The Municipal Affairs office asked the Town of Sundre for two extensions in order to complete the general assessment, the administrator said. The assessment is expected to be completed by Alberta Municipal Affairs and in the hands of town administration this week. In the meantime the central office of the County of Mountain View has been unable to send out its school requisitions which in effect, to some degree, blem for the town, but determines the mill that taxpayers' percep- rate municipalities tions might be altered levy. by the tardy tax Everything is being notices, held up because of Sun- He said tax notices dre, the county comp- will go out in Didsbury troller, Harold as soon as the Sundre Johnsrude said. Johnsrude says once the Sundre equalized assessment figures are made available to county authorities, the Mountain View Foundation, hpspitals and central office, calculations for requisitions can be completed. The comptroller says supplementary requisitions handed to municipalities at last month's board of education, as part of the schools budget, may change. I expect not significantly, he said, referring to a change in their totals. Town administrators from Carstairs, Didsbury, Cremona and Olds say the late Sundre assessment will delay tax notices in their respective municipalities. None of the municipalities are pushing the panic button though. They're not legally delaying anything of ours, Carstairs administrator, Daphne Turner said. The Village of Cremona is not pleased that there is a delay, but will live with it, says its administrator. It would be nice to know as soon as possible, Cleta Haggerty, the village administrator said. We're always waiting for someone. Didsbury's ad ministrator, Mike Storey, says the delay presents no real pro- assessment is given to the county office and the authorities comply with their requests. And taxpayers in Didsbury will still have to have paid their taxes by June 30 as is the case in Olds. Both Sundre and Carstairs have July 31 deadlines for paying taxes, while the Village of Cremona sets a deadline of 30 days from notice. The Alberta Municipal Act states that after July 1 municipalities across the province can legally penalize ratepayers for not paying their taxes. County cops serve as strike relief Sgt.

The building, which will cost over 7 million when completed, is replacing the old Plant Sciences building. Souster, Dean of the Land Sciences program, said the design and decoration of the interior was chosen to reflect the curriculum and student needs. The building will be plant filled, with a brown and green color scheme and lots of natural light to match the emphasis of our program he said. The building will also contain a cafeteria, a study lounge and a large garden in the atrium which students in the interior plant- scape program can use. The herbarium, which houses over 40,000 sheets of information of plant species, the greenhouse, and the header- house will be moved to the new building. The old Plant Sciences will be refurbished and used for associated classes. The trailers surrounding the building have been sold and will be removed tion time, Thiemann, communications ficer, said in a telephone interview. Thiemann would not release the number of officers involved nor the number of Central Alberta detachments the strike relief initiative affected saying only that the RCMP did not want to negotiate through the media. In Olds the detachment had been involved in the strike relief program since the beginning of the strike, May 10th, Cpl. D. Skappak said. Anybody on regular time or time off is going, the corporal said. In Sundre the detachment was responding to calls for strike relief from the Red Deer RCMP rural detachment based in Red Deer, Sundre Sgt. William McGhie said. Whatever they request we supply, he said. Sgt. Ray Mustard of the RCMP in Didsbury says his detachment, as well, was being tapped for strike relief. Of the three detachments Mustard sometime this week. Official opening of the Didsbury's Land Sciences is planned for October 5. Continued on Page 3 by Janice Harrington Olds College managers and administrators will receive yet another four percent increase in salary, said President Bob Bigsby at last week's Board of Governors meeting. Managers, ad ministrators and other employees not affiliated with any union on campus comprise a collective bargaining organization commonly referred to as the 'exempt group'. This same , group received a four percent blanket pay raise earlier this year as a result of a comparison study of the salaries of employees in similar institutions. Only certain members of the exempt group will receive this increase. Said Bigsby, Another analysis of the salary study showed that employees on the lower end of the scale were still below the mean salary even after the earlier in- The editorial staff of the Olds Gazette is pleased to announce their new reporter. Janice Harrington, formerly of Calgary, began covering Sundre, Didsbury, Carstairs and Cremona last week replacing Shelley Bandura. Bandura took a temporary position with' radio station Q-91. Harrington's previous reporting coverage was with the University of Calgary's student newspaper The Gauntlet. Bigsby said the Boa**d will evaluate individual members of the group to bring them up to par with their equivalents in other colleges. It was decided that our employees should be in the middle of the pay range, said Bigsby, since we are not remote and we re not urban. Captain Lanz (extreme left) presents awards to Sgt.
